Time Flies When Your Having A Parkie Day

I just posted my promised part two of my clinical trial adventure. Somehow, three months have passed since I posted part one. I’ve been busy. but really, what do I do all day?
I keep a simple diary. Looking back I know that I do things. The important stuff gets done. The list of "want to dos", however, piles up.

What's my reaction? I commit to simplifying the things I own and do. I sold the motorcycle. Sorry. We are cleaning out the house in anticipation of moving to a smaller, flatter one.

I know where this disease is going. I am scouting ahead, preparing for when it comes around the corner. I’m retreating to a place where I can be firmly grounded to do battle on MY terms.
